How about building a society where you have a freedom to do meaningful things without having to amass wealth?
Perfect. A silly naive dream, but perfect. Yes.
To accomplish that, you would need power. In this capitalist society, power comes from money.
Well have fun with the lottery!
No lottery-money that has ever been paid out would be enough for that. To really change the world you'd need at least unlimited funds like musk & co. And if you'd have those kind of funds, you probably long stopped caring or just changed your mind.
